Netherlands:
https://nltimes.nl/2021/11/30/new-co...s-kuipers-says The package of stricter coronavirus restrictions implemented on Sunday will very likely not be scrapped after three weeks, according to Ernst Kuipers, head of the national acute care network LNAZ. The number of Covid-19 patients in hospital is simply too high for that, he said, NU.nl reports. When announcing the new measures in a press conference on Friday, caretaker Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Health Minister Hugo de Jonge said they would apply for at least three weeks. After that, the Cabinet will examine whether an extension is necessary. Rutte said he hoped the measures would only apply for three weeks so that we could have "a bit of a normal Christmas." But he would not give a clear answer on how realistic that hope was. According to Kuipers, that hope was not realistic at all. Before the Cabinet can scrap measures, "we should really see a decrease in the number of infections, and that must last for some time," he said. Because the current infections and hospitalizations are at such a high level, that will likely not happen within three weeks. Kuipers noted that the number of Covid patients in the hospital would need to at least halve before measures can be scrapped. That number can be "combined well with regular care." On Monday, the RIVM reported 48 coronavirus-related hospitalizations, about the same number as last week's daily average. A total of 2,780 Covid-19 patients are currently hospitalized, including 571 in intensive care

Netherlands: Omicron variant one week earlier than thought, in samples taken from tests of November 19th, November 23th
these samples had the same extra ''spike protein'' which made them think it was omicron and now test results have confirmed this it is uncertain if the people who these samples are from, have been in southern africa

I would hazard a guess that opposition to covid measures in general (mask wearing, social distancing, indoor gatherings etc.) is more evenly spread across age groups though. For the mostpart it's a class/political divide not an age divide. |

They will own everything, including us. We will own nothing. They're actually telling us this themselves. They're so confident in doing so because they know most arne't even listening, and the ones who are just get passed aside as crazy conspiracy theorists, that's how easy it is for them. Don't take my word for it, take their words for it. They're even making adverts saying "You will own nothing and be happy" This video is from Sky News Australia a few months back. |

I hope not, but I did hear today that Boris has issued threats that anyone caught without one in a shop will receive a Ł200 fine. Obviously that won't stand up in court, but will be enough to frighten plenty of people who just arne't aware of the law.

That said... ... it's also not untrue that the human race on its current course is simply not sustainable. World's ****ed. Too many people, resources now exploited to capacity, no wriggle room left. |

you might get the odd one on public transport as they have their own police, but no shop is going to call the police to issue fines

I'm surprised there's not more conspiracy theories about it having been developed/released by the Chinese "government" to kill vast swathes of Westerners, or worldwide forces to move more money towards the rich and take more control over the people.
While I'm not saying I believe it, it's certainly plausible that the virus was deliberately created... Last edited by Oliver_W; 30-11-2021 at 11:27 AM. |

Our neighbours have it as we speak - their son was the first to show symptoms, picked it up at primary school - there were so many cases they closed the school and everyone was ‘advised’ to get a PCR test .. the lad just had a cough , his sister no symptoms , the mum no symptoms yet the dad who is a healthy and strong 35 yrs old builder has been floored for two weeks - just moving from his bed to a lie down on the sofa and back to bed .

the biggest money is always generated in crisis. There are always people with no scruples that take advantage. That's how it has always been. People are behaving like it's something new, but it's as old as time
